CLEBURNE, Ten, March On last
Saturday evening near night Mr.. James
Monroe of CIeburne was offered a horse

THE Philadelphia Press directs atten-
ton 10 the strong public sentiment IN the
west against alien landlordshIp. Several
state Legislatures are considering bills 10
check it and restore the land already
gained TO the public. Nebraska and Hi
nois have both suffered from this evil, the
well known SculIy owning large tracts in
these states. The Illinois Legislature has
d stringent measure before it, and the Ne
braska Legislature will probably pass
similar bill. Colorado has also become
alarmed, eCd a committee has reported
oil favorab'y to the Legislature on the
subject. So long IS the public lands a
peared inexhaustibie alien ownership was
tolerated, although the evils 1t entsiled
were manifest. Now, however, that good
lands are becoming scarce, the people
appear to be awake to the necessity Of
putting an end to any system of foreign
Iandlordism. The decision has been
made none too soon.

II MAY surprise those who have given
little attention to the growing interest in
chronological study to know that one
school alone, the Massachusetts Insti-
tute, has at this time G37 students, and
that there has been expended in the cree
ton of suitable buildings S558, 625, and
more than million and a half paid out
in current expenses. The Legislature Of
that state has now under consideration
the further appropriation of 100000 as
an endowment for the school. The ad-
vantages of such system of instruction
can hardly be over estimated, as the de-
mand of higher civilization is ever for
skilled labor in all departments. and
young parsons can 60 out from such an
institution fitted for work even better
than under the old apprentice system
which is now obsolete. 1t is to be hoped
that Texas, mindful of her high privilege,
will not allow her magnificent trust fund
for the children be FILTERED away by I'M
wise legislation, and no provision be
made to thus equip her young men and
women for the battle of life.

Al the recent New York meeting Of re-
leased anarchists, with the exception Of
the policemen in citizens dress every
man was foreigner of the lowest type.
Braunschweig was the first speaker, He
said in part: 81 was sent to prison for
nine months for daring to speak the truth
and for denounciug the present social
conditions. l shall continue to speak for
anarchy until the time comes to pro-
nognce sentence against its enemies and
tyrants. Anarchy cannot be suppressed
by violence. Hate will spread until the
social revolution will come and the cry
Will be: Down with the republic, Live
anarchy" He then turned TO the table
where the reporters were sitting and de-
nounCed them as the men VINO had sent
him TO prison. He said: 81 pity the
American people when they are led by
you. Every honest man despises you.
You ought to be hanged and when an
arcby prevails you viii be hanged in
batch. You are marked men" No one
objects to America being the nome OF the
oppressed, but there is a growing feeling
in this country that we have enough Of
such cattle as these.

MANY Journals have exercised them
selves over the fact that at a late d;plo-
matte dinner Mrs. Cleveland was escorted
by the Haytien minister. THE GAZETTE
has pointed out that although Mr.. Lang
ston represents negro republic he is of
pure Caucasian blood, and was entitled to
the honor from the precedence granted to
seniority of service. Mrs. Cleveland thus
msintains her position by conformity to a
time-houored custom, and violates no
sense Of propriety in social equality. 1t
is YELL for chronic fauIt-fnders to adjust
their glasses to the proper focus, or at
least bear in mind the advice of an
old debater, SIN argument be sure of

this district hundreds of men, mostly
whites, are engaged IN levee work for the

The men are paid of weekly, and every

"Tbe Red. Death" of Russia.

Russia is peculiarly rich in surprising
sects and associations, but the most astound-
ing is one lately brought to light bearing the
ominous title of "The Red Death" It's mem
bers affect to believe that he who consciously
permits another to suffer prolonged pain COM
mits mortal sin In order to abbreviate the
sufferings of humanity it is matter of con-
science with them to kill the sick, that they
may be put out of their pain quickly The
association takes its name from the fact that
its executioners, dressed in red for the OCCASION
strangle their victims with red cord, plac-
ing them for the purpose upon red cata-
falque, beneath the dull reddish light of ar

ton was brought to light by the energetic OPP
position interposed by man in Saratoi when
his mother and sister endeavored to strangle

who have already arrested some forty mem

st. Andrews Church Association

The regular monthly meeting of St.
last evening in the Sunday-school room
with a good attendance of members,
several ladies being present.
After theusual exercises the Rev. II.
II. Gowen read a paper on "The Holy
Catholic Church"
He traced the use of the word
"church" in classical times, in the Sep
tuagint, and in the New Testament. 1t
signiied a body of people called out
from the rest of the world for a special
purpose. In the case of the Christian
Church it was a society called out from
the world to apply the results of Christ's
redemptive work to Individual souls, by
means of a special organization and
special sacraments ordained by
Christ himself. In the last analysis
there are only two coherent theories Of
the origin and character of the Christian
Church One is that the power resides
in the people who make the minister
their delegate; the other is that the
ministerial authority is transmitted from
Christ himself through the unbroken
succession of ministers from the time of
the Apostles.
The power which Christ gave to his
Apostles was to remain with them till
the end of the world, consequently we
see it transmitted, step by step, by the
Apostolic practice OF laying on OF
hands" St. Paul, though divinely
called to the ministry by a special
miracle, did not venture upon
ministerial work till the Holy
Ghost had signifed to the
Church separate me Barnabas and
Paul for the work whereunto l have
called them ;""and when they had tasted
and prayed, and laid their hands on
them, they sent them away"
In like manner st. Paul ''laid his
hands on ST. Timothy, bestowing there
by gift, which lac is to keep alive, and
which he is told to Commit also to
Others" while taking care to clay hands
suddenly on no man"
The succession OF the Anglican branch
of the Catholic Church is derived both
from St. Peter and st. John, st. Angus
tine, first Archbishop of Canterbury,
having been consecrated priest at Rome,
but bishop by Etheruis and Vigiluis, two
Gallo Bishops, who were in direct line
from St. John. Thus the present Arch
bishop of Canterbury is the 10th in di-
rect, unbroken succession from the Apos
tie St. John.

AN INDEPENDENT PARTY"

Would our morning contemporary de-
fine precisely what it means by the term
independent party" as applied to Ha-
waiian politics? According to our con-
temporary the independent party is a
party not to be depended upon. Il
seems to have neither principles. policy
nor backbone. If that be a true de-
scription of its makeup and condition it
is idle to waste time discussing it.
One should hope better OF the moral
pith of the community than to accept
the "Herald's 5" description as correct. 1t
would also be interesting to know what
function an independent party is ex-
pected to fulfill. The phrase has been a
good deal used latterly, but its precise
Specification has never been apparent to
our mind. This probably was owing to
our obtuseness, but we have some con-
ISOLATION in knowing that we do not stand
alone in our ignorance. Unless some
thing definite be presented regarding it,
therefore, We shall be inclined to think
that there is no real meaning to be at
tached to the phrase independent
party" but simply that it has a soothing
effect upon some minds, and may be
classed in It's way as a mental and
moral soporific, with g that blessed word
Mesopotamia" in the Scriptures.

CORRECTION.

An accidental omission, in the last
sentence but one of the article on the
rumored call for an extra session in yes
terday's ADVERTISER, changed the entire
sense and contradicted what went before
The sentence as written was as follows
"Article 10 of the Constitution gives the
Privy Council and Cabinet joint power OF
appropriation in specified contingencies,
but this has no bearing upon the power
to call a special legislative session." 1t
was shortened to read: ''Article 10 of
the Constitution gives the Privy Council
and Cabinet joint power to call a special
legislative session." The blunder is too
important to pass without correction.
